DeterTech recently had the pleasure of welcoming 12-year-old technology enthusiast Harrison, to its headquarters in Telford. Harrison, who has a passion for innovation and engineering has been a DeterTech fanatic since he first encountered a PID360 near his house. Spending hours sketching, photographing, and even building his own PID360 (complete with audio!), Harrison told his parents when he grows up, he wants to be a DeterTech engineer.
Impressed by his models, the company sent Harrison a gift box filled with DeterTech goodies, craft supplies, and a letter from everyone at DeterTech to keep his creativity flowing. Harrison’s father, Richard, got in contact to say how much it meant to him.
Everyone at DeterTech was extremely inspired by Harrison and eager to meet him, so the team invited him to spend the day at DeterTech to learn what it would take to become an engineer in the future. During his visit, Harrison toured the facilities, met the team, and even spent some time grilling CEO Baba Devani about the skills and subjects required to follow his dream career at the firm.
When asked about his day at DeterTech, Harrison explained that it was a “once in a lifetime opportunity” and that it was “better than all birthdays combined”.
Harrison’s dad added: “To put things further into context, Harrison has amongst other diagnoses, autism and learning difficulties. The entire team have all helped in our quest for our son to believe in himself and realise that he does have it in him to fulfil his dreams. Harrison loved speaking with everyone from admin and sales roles, engineering, manufacturing, and dispatch and has not stopped telling everyone about the day.”
Baba Devani, CEO at DeterTech said: “It’s moments like this that remind us why it’s so important to engage with and inspire the next generation. Youngsters like Harrison are our future innovators, engineers, and problem-solvers. It’s the skill and enthusiasm of our people that drives the quality of the technology and services we deliver.
“Thank you to Harrison for helping us to see our own business through a child’s eyes. It reminds us why we work so hard to bring peace of mind to people and communities every day. And who knows? Maybe we’ve just inspired a future engineer”.
